Four friends making a park poster show what a good leader does: Zoe listens to everyone's ideas, even quiet Ben's, encourages Ben with kind words when Ben's bird looks "silly", and steps forward first when nobody wants to show the poster to the class. A card fills in the three things one at a time, and the video ends on the recap that anyone can lead by listening, encouraging and taking the first step.
